My favourites in bold. I would crown LYMPH and IGNORANUS as the champs in their respective categories. I guess my own quick contribution would be:
Singaporn - a place called Geylang
Bras Basah - a really sloppy laundromate, also near Geylang
Bohtea - really slutty girls who really like their chai latte
Parliamentari - the bewildering 'dance' of the blase and blah-blahs
